Last spring, the restaurant operator Coor was announced to develop GoCo House's food and beverage offering. With only a few months left until the grand opening, the new concept is presented - Nola Bistro and Vigor & Joy café, both focusing on health, quality and the joy of eating. The sustainability approach is consistent with a strong focus on green food and local collaborations.
In February, GoCo House will open the doors to the 21,000 square meters signature building consisting of offices, co-working, research as well as large social areas to promote meetings and the opportunity get together in a creative and relaxing atmosphere. The new restaurant concepts, Nola Bistro and Vigor & Joy café, will both be managed by Coor.
- The food and beverage offer is an important element from several perspectives – to create a vibrant environment, to provide service to tenants and the neighborhood and not least - to contribute to the spontaneous meeting that will lead to new innovative collaborations. With a bistro and café in GoCo House, we strengthen the entire district and can continue to work towards strengthening the future for life science, says Sofia Ekberg, project manager at GoCo Health Innovation City.
Both the bistro and café are focusing on the flavors from the plant origin and the inspiration for the menus is drawn from all corners of the world. The local elements come to mind from nearby collaborations and the symbolic name of the bistro originating from the history of the potato.
- Nola is another name for potato derived from the Alingsås region where Jonas Alströmer lived and worked. The man who is believed to be the one that brought the potato to Sweden. In the same way that the Swedes initially had a difficulty accepting this new root vegetable, the idea with Nola is to showcase the green, sustainable food culture - which many find difficult at first, but fantastic once you get a taste for it. Just like with the potatoes, says Linda Höglund, Head of F&B Innovation and Concept, at Coor, and continues.
- Both the bistro and the cafe signify health and enjoyment, with the ambition to create a healthy experience, without renouncing the good things in life. We will bake and produce a lot ourselves, but also collaborate with artisan bakeries as well as local farms and producers. It has been so exciting and a great source of inspiration to create these two businesses based on GoCo's visions, completely tailored for the district, concludes Linda Höglund.
Nola Bistro will be open for lunch and offer catering and evening events. Vigor & Joy will be open weekdays from breakfast to afternoon.
Both businesses will open in February in connection with the grand opening of GoCo House.
